This is a highly detailed 1:18 scale AUTOart diecast model of the iconic Chevrolet Corvette C5-R #4, one of the most celebrated race cars in Corvette Racing history.

Real Car Background
The Chevrolet Corvette C5-R marked the brand’s return to professional endurance racing in the late 1990s. Debuting at the 1999 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the factory-backed Corvette Racing Team sponsored by GM Goodwrench Service Plus immediately proved competitive in the GT2 class.
The car featured here, the #4 C5-R, competed at major endurance events such as:
- 1999 Rolex 24 at Daytona
-
2000 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by an elite lineup including Ron Fellows, Chris Kneifel, and Johnny O’Connell
Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V8 producing 600 BHP at 7200 RPM, paired with a 6-speed manual Hewland transmission, the C5-R became a dominant force in GT racing. Its reliability and performance established the foundation for the future success of Corvette Racing around the world.
